Wii getting cell phone shovelware, thanks Gameloft
In companies' rush to capitalize on the industry's fascination with waggle, the Wii has become no stranger to games we'd sooner use to prop up the short leg of our coffee table than play. Much as it seems counterintuitive, novelty has not been par the course for the console so much as it has been quick cash-ins, though we continue to look to the Wii's digital download service WiiWare as the platform's saving grace.It seems, however, that even WiiWare will not be immune to its share of shovelware, with mobile game developer-publisher Gameloft planning to use the service as a receptacle for cell phone games. We wouldn't mind so much if the company had originality on the brain, but its first effort, a Breakout clone going by the name of Block Breaker Deluxe, doesn't give us much hope. The download will be released in Japan in April before launching in other regions at a later date, giving us one to watch out for, if only to know what to avoid once WiiWare launches in North America on May 12.[Via Wii Fanboy]
Block Breaker debuts
Gameloft debuted their new iPod game called "Block Breaker Deluxe" last night on the iTunes Store. This game puts a twist on the older "Breakout" game. The game is compatible with iPod nano (3rd gen), iPod Classic, and iPod with video (5th gen) only. "We revamped the graphics of Block Breaker Deluxe for iPod to make it the most feature-rich, action packed wall breaker game ever created," said Gameloft.This isn't Gameloft's first iPod game, as you may recall, they have also created Brain Challenge and the LOST game. You can download the new "Block Breaker Deluxe" from the iTunes Music Store's game section for $4.99 (US).
